Lazy Sewing
My view on the concept of lazy sewing, tldr, It doesn't exist.
Building a Handmade Wardrobe
Or how I began to like myself again.... At the start of this year I decided that I was done spending money on clothes. They cost so much, they never fit me well and the ethics of buying clothes from big stores was a bit depressing. I made a pledge to myself that I wouldn't… Continue reading Building a Handmade Wardrobe
The Best Laid Plans
I started this year with the best of intentions, I was going to watch less tv and instead I was going to blog more, make more and be generally more productive. Clearly I haven't been doing as well as I would have liked to! I decided to put my clothes sewing on hold for a… Continue reading The Best Laid Plans
Sewing Goals
Ever since I started to learn to sew I've wanted to sew my own clothes. I've managed to successfully make a couple of things but I'm not confident in my clothes sewing skills despite being reasonably confident on my sewing machine. This year I am determined to expand my me made wardrobe and to expand… Continue reading Sewing Goals

One of the things that has put me off in the past is that I'm a totally bizarre size. I'm not much taller than 5ft but I have long legs for my… Continue reading DIY Dress Form
Suits Into Bags!
Some years ago, when I was new to this whole sewing lark, I was browsing the Internet for ideas. I needed easy sewing projects that wouldn't break the bank. One of the most inspiring I found was this clutch bag made from the sleeve of an old suit jacket. I loved the look of it… Continue reading Suits Into Bags!
Sewing Love
I forgot just how much I love sewing! Up until recently I had been concentrating on crochet (which I really love too!) and sewing had taken a bit of a back seat in my crafting life. I think a combination of small children and a very cold sewing room have seen me curled up more… Continue reading Sewing Love
